  • Patent number: 11945570
    Abstract: A piloting device for piloting an aircraft comprises a first and a second control stick mounted movable on a support. The device comprises a priority selection module configured to switch the first and second control sticks between a piloting configuration and a non-piloting configuration. The device further comprises a detection system for detecting the positions of the first and second control sticks; a first and second actuation system configured to generate respective first and second forces on the respective first and second control stick; and a control module configured to control the actuation system of the control stick which is in a non-piloting configuration such that the positions of the control sticks are identical.

  • Patent number: 11884379
    Abstract: A control system is for a high lift assembly of an aircraft. The assembly is controllable in two aerodynamic configurations each with different lift. The control system includes a manual control device operable by a pilot of the aircraft. The manual control device includes at least one member movable relative to a base body. The movable member can be moved relative to the base body between a rest position, a first position and a second distinct position. The manual control device includes a resilient return device for the movable member in the rest position. The manual control device issues a signal when the movable member reaches either the first or second position, to move the high lift assembly between two of the aerodynamic configurations.

  • Publication number: 20220185454
    Abstract: A piloting device for piloting an aircraft includes a first and a second control stick movably mounted on a support, a detection system for detecting the positions of the first and second control sticks, an elastic mechanism configured to apply a restoring force to the second control stick, first and second actuation systems configured to apply respective first and second position adjustment forces to the respective first and second control sticks, and a control module configured to control the second adjustment force so that the positions of the first and second control sticks are identical. The control module is configured to control the first adjustment force based on the second adjustment force and the restoring force.

  • Patent number: 10889368
    Abstract: A device for managing the mechanical energy of an aircraft, having a light system, includes a support defining a guide; at least one control lever for varying the mechanical energy of the aircraft, mounted moving through the guide; and at least one position sensor detecting the position of the control lever in the guide, configured to create position information for the position of the control lever in the guide intended to be sent to a flight control unit of the aircraft. The device also includes at least one light strip extending on the support along at least part of the travel of the control lever in the guide; and a control unit of the at least one light strip, configured to display at least one light indication at least at one given point of the lighted position ramp calculated as a function of a movement context of the aircraft.
